Customer Reviews
Kyiv re-shuffle
Excellent reporting! As usual I get more and better quality news on Ukraine from this podcast. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic !!
Thank you for your outstanding coverage.
Fantastic podcast
Foreign office is really an outstanding podcast. Weiss mixes discussions of current global affairs with a bit of history thrown in. The guests provide some really interesting perspectives, much of it (but not exclusively) focused in Russian affairs around the globe. Give it a listen. If anything, you’ll learn never to trust the FSB (not that anyone would want to go begin with!)
